1995 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 review from North America
"Excellent performance, low reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drive shaft vibrates when you let off the gas in gear above 65 MPH. You can hear it and feel it. The dealership said that since the speed limit was only 55 MPH at the time it was not an issue.
Each power window broke separately and had to be completely replaced. The driver side window was adjusted improperly and scratched the glass in the window over the years..
The optical distributor (Opti-Spark) is very sensitive to moisture. Mine got moist, corroded, and caused a severe high-RPM miss until it was replaced, once under warranty, and again a second time out of my pocket (nearly $1000).
Poor fit on body panels right from the beginning. My hood was 1/4 inch from the left fender and 3/4 inch from the right. The front bumper didn't align quite right where it was glued to the front fenders.
T-Top lever got very tight and the T-tops were difficult to remove.
The car always had little rattles that the dealership could never locate and fix.
General comments?
This car is one of the best muscle-cars you can get for the price, just don't expect much reliability from it.
It was faster than all stock mustangs in 1995 when I got it. Performance parts are more expensive for this car than for a comparable mustang, however.
It is comfortable to drive on long trips, and the 6 speed transmission makes for excellent gas mileage cruising at 70+.
